Configuration with ControlLogix
NOTE: This information is copied from the Beck manuals.
To run the BG02-EIP in a ControlLogix environment it is necessary to configure the module under the
I/O Configuration section in a RSLogix 5000 project. Please refer to the RSLogix 5000 user docs on
how to do this. The next illustrations just show the basic settings.
First a Generic Ethernet Module must be selected:
The next figure shows the module properties. Please make sure that the connection parameters will
match exactly the definitions as outlined above. The only exceptions are the Assembly Instances for
Input and Status Input (if configured). The ControlLogix does not strip off the 32 bit header in front of
the data sent by the module. This means that 4 more bytes have to be configured than needed. The
user data can be found in word two of the corresponding input tag.
NOTE: depending on the ControlLogix version a different value for the “Configuration” parameters
are required: Please try empty values for both “assembly instance” and “size” or use “100” for
“assembly instance” and “0” for “size”.
To finish the Connection Parameter settings a Requested Packet Interval (RPI) has to be chosen. The
minimum allowed interval is 20ms!
